An exciting adventure is the
reward to the gardener who
dares to grow a plant new and
different to his garden. A new
plant capable of creating a high
state of excitement is the
Gerbera jamesonii.
It also answers to the name of
T ransvaal Daisy and is
frequently found in garden
centers during the spring
where it awaits adoption and a
new home. Few take advantage
of the chance to grow
something really striking and
exotic when it comes to gar
dening in the Pacific North
west.
Many more, however, have
been attracted to the majestic
flowers present on the plants
being offered for sale. Lack of
common knowledge about their
culture and care in com
bination with the usual price
being in dollars instead of cents
per plant has kept them on the
"something special” list.
Slender petals or rays make
up the four-inch flowers ap
pearing one to a stem rising
from a clump or crown of ten-
inch lobed leaves. Stricking
colors include cream shades
through yellow, coral, orange,
flame and red to give this
flower a place of elegance
among any floral arrangement.
Given
the
proper
en
vironment, plants begin their
bloom period in May and cease
in December for a winter rest
before time to repeat the
performance during the next
spring.

raised beds for most Western
Oregon locations and the soil
should be modified by addition
of sand and organic matter.
They enjoy frequent feedings
such as every ten days and
should be deep-watered and not
irrigated again until the soil
gets quite dry. Pick old leaves
off re g u la rly and protect
against slugs during the wet
season. They may be allowed to
get crowded before dividing
during
the period
from
February to April. When you
buy plants, insist on being able
to see them with bloom.
Many doubles and special
effects have resulted from
hybridization and are worthy of
being given a place in your
garden. Once you have been
hooked by the plant, the ad
venture in growing them from
seed is worth anyone’s time.
Specialty seed firms can supply
the seed you will sow in a
mixture of sterile sand and
ground sphagnum moss.
Keep the seeded flat moist
and at a temperature of 70
degrees but don’t look for
sprouts until four to six weeks
elapse. Transplant to growing
flats in the same manner as
other seedlings are handled. By
mid-summer the new seedlings
w ill be ready to move to their
own raised bed where they can
be protected against severe
winters. Set plants two feet
apart but place crowns Mi to Vi
inch above the soil surface.
Twelve to eighteen months
from the day you planted seed,
bud bearing stalks appear to
kindle yotr excitement to a new
high. The exotic blooms are
sure to cause your garden to be
the talk of the town.
A word of reassurance for
those who are discouraged by
the time required from planting
the seed until bloom. Many
plants go much longer before
they mat ire .
One
rhododendron,
fo r
example, requires the utmost
patience to grow. From time
the tiny frail seedling first
emerges, the grower must wait
20 years for the first blossom.
